**SIZES:**
The sizing options include 1 (2, 3) = 17.5 (20, 22.5) cm / 7 (8, 9)“ finished leg circumference, designed to fit comfortably with slight negative ease for a snug fit. Plus, the length of both the foot and leg can be easily adjusted to perfect your fit!
The sample showcased in this pattern is in size 2, demonstrating the versatility and beauty of the design. To replicate this look, we recommend using Malabrigo Yarn Ultimate Sock (fingering weight) in the enchanting colourway “Old Rose by Lisa Hannes.”
For optimal results, aim for a gauge of 32 stitches x 46 rounds = 10 x 10 cm / 4” x 4“ in the stunning cable-rib pattern. To achieve this gauge, use 2.5 mm / US 1.5 needles for knitting in the round via the magic-loop method (circular needles with a length of at least 80 cm / 32“), or adjust to your preferred needle size.
These beautiful socks not only elevate your knitting skills but also provide a functional and stylish addition to your footwear collection. Dive into this project to enhance your wardrobe with handmade charm!
